The smiles so big
but the feeling so small
The tears so little
but the feelings are so overwhelming
The laughs subtle, yet noticeable
as the sobs boom behind closed doors
The silence so needed
but the sounds never stop
The pause in time
will never happen
The ease will never come
The reminders will never fade
The hurt will always come back

The wheels spinning
as the eyes close
as the muscles relax
as the shivers progress
The wheels slow down
as the face sinks
as the warmth covers
as the protection sets
The wheels start again
as the warm gets too hot
as the eyes open
as the protection fades
